December Market Trends and Federal Reserve Rate Cut Impact on S&P 500
December historically brings gains to the S&P 500, Dow, and Nasdaq, with the S&P 500 rising 72% of the time. Despite positive seasonal trends, risks remain due to the Federal Reserve's upcoming interest rate decision on December 10, with a high probability of a quarter-point rate cut boosting market sentiment. Additionally, strong Black Friday sales indicate consumer resilience amid economic uncertainty.
